Microsoft pushed a new and testing version of its Xbox One Guide interface to some inside members this Monday, and it brings two quite intriguing changes to the version, an overhaul to what happens when users tap the 'Xbox button' and a very unique 'copilot' option for controller use.
The tap option update shows off a slightly faster jump between tapping a button and having a floating menu to appear. The new default floating menu makes it easier for players to jump back to the home screen, it additionally offers the shorter path to the home screen's primary options, opening the games and appscollection, picking recently played games; and picking from "pinned" games and apps.
A much appreciated update to Xbox One will allow users to put a transparent text box on top of their favourite games. This specifies the name and percentage completion of any achievement that a player wants to keep tabs on. Now, users won't have to tab into the achievement menus to figure their achievement stats out.
The latest update also includes a 'copilot' option in the system's accessibility menu. When enabled, users can assign two gamepads to the same player. As an accessibility option, this will enable players with disabilities or other issues to place controllers next to distant hands or close to their chin or feet and have them all work in tandem for the same game.
Home theatre buffs will appreciate and enjoy the new bitstream passthrough functionality, currently labelled as in 'beta.' This will enable support for bitstream audio formats like Dolby Atmos. Xbox One dev kit users will also get an access to a "spatial audio" toggle, which will let developers begin coding positional audio cues for both speaker and headphone systems.
